How can I stop the black paint from flaking off into the environment?

Slide the bottle in an old sock. If that doesn't work for ya, get over it! It's not lead paint!

Next time order a non-coated canteen I guess? Nothing you can do about the paint chipping off.

I would try something like painters tape as this probably won't pull off the paint. If paint isn't a problem then any other type of masking tape should work

You really shouldn't have any streaks with the final coat, Bob. Why not call their help line and see what they recommend? Otherwise, try waiting several days until the final resin completely sets up. Lightly sand with some very fine sand paper and then lay down a topcoat of quality polyurethane. I have no idea about the chemistry of the resin and the polyurethane, but it might be less expensive than ordering more of the resin from Rust-Oleum.

Use a gloss black primer, and then paint *extremely* light coats of chrome, building it up slowly. I find that 2-3 coats works best, and it dries very quickly in between coats. I have looked everywhere for a "manual" or directions, but have not found one, so the info I am giving you is based on my own tests. I tried it many different ways, and only gloss black with light chrome coats gave me the high polish results I was looking for. It should also be sealed if it's going to be even lightly handled, and again the sealing should be done with a very light hand. I would recommend testing on plastic spoons to make sure you have things right before you go to model, as stripping this stuff is a real PITA. Happy Painting!

Paint is scratched by dirt particles, not the solution. The cloth used should be soft and absorbent and clean and free of any dirt or sand. The product is flawless, leaving a beautiful gloss, but make sure the paint is clean before it is used.

Agree with Joan. Just let it sit overnight. As with all of these touch-up paints, none of them last forever. You WILL occasionally have to re-touch once in a while. But Porcafix is SOOOO much better than the garbage that you will now find in Lowe's or Home Depot.

Make sure you have a good ground! You can't put it on a painted surface! Hope this helps.

Ospho will convert surface rust to black. You still need to sand and prime and paint

Use a black paint called VHT flame proof coatings. Sand rust spots smooth then paint with VHT

Needs to be totally dry, time depends on the temperature and exposure to sunlight. If in doubt, let it dry longer so primer and paint adhere properly.

If it's dry I used a paint scrapper for excess, small amounts in the brick I was not able to remove. It its still wet or tacky I used a warm rag with dish soap.

I would use painter's tape along the edge of the board where you want to stop. Apply to that point, remove the tape as soon as you reach there. Applying in full sun may reduce the amount of time you have to even out your application but I don't recall having any particular difficulty working the product from shade to sun.

I find that painting over laminant is a bit tricky, a good spray paint that will adhere to plastic seems to work the best, cleaning the surface and lightly sanding with a very, very fine grit sandpaper helps, but even still sliding heavy objects across the freshly painted surface may leave scratches. Good luck.

It's a spray paint, I didn't personally try it outside, but I see no reason it wouldn't work. I would consider a clear sealer to apply after the glow in the dark, just to be safe

I would use hide glue found in lumber yards mixed with water 1tsp hide lue to a cup of warm water. Makes a great stable water color paint. Maybe a dash of alum.

I live in Texas and was working at around 85-90 degrees F. I had trouble with fast drying paints drying in/on and clogging up the sprayer. You might want to try clearing most of the poly by spraying water/detergent solution through the sprayer with the second cup. Then, put the spray tip in water/detergent solution and place a damp rag on the open spray head--not the entire sprayer--while you wait. Certainly, the poly can stay in the cup if it is capped.
